| Elevator Pitch |

Well, this is not gross out comedy so no-one gets their cloths off although people look longingly at each other. Senior policemen shout, various participants run around They are provided with a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 ( but never get to drive it). |

The first part of this film is entertaining, but it goes to hell as we work towards the finale. It may be that you have to be American and familiar with the 1980s TV show to really enjoy this. But it is definitely inoffensive. It made money and there is a sequel. |
